Self Esteem

Self-esteem is the opinion we have of ourselves. When our self-esteem is low, we tend to see ourselves and our life in a more negative and critical light. We also feel less able to take on the challenges life throws at us. Low self-esteem often begins in childhood and teenage years. If you have low self-esteem or confidence, you may hide yourself away from social situations, stop trying new things and avoid things you find challenging.
